Abstract

There were investigated tribological properties of CrAlSiC coatings deposited by two techniques. In both techniques a plasma source of a cathode-arc discharge with Cr-Al-Si composite target served the source of Cr, Al, and Si atoms during coating deposition. A plasma source of a pulsed cathode-arc discharge with graphite cathode and a gas discharge device to generate a non-self-sustained discharge in argon-acetylene mixture have been used for generating carbon plasma in first and second techniques, correspondingly. First coating has a low coefficient of friction. Under frictional action, coating wears out uniformity without chipping. Second coating is less resistant to frictional action.
